A member asked:

What does it mean if a child has brown sticky poop and a sore bum after going to the toilet! ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Intestinal issues: This depends on how long, and whether there is blood in the stool. If it's a short term issue, and everything else is normal, then it may just be a stomach virus, causing mild irritation. However, if there is blood, or it's a prolonged issue, then you should consult your doc immediately for evaluation and discussion.
